The New Siprelle.com

Submitted by Lynn on Sat, 12/23/2006 - 16:23.

Update: I got the feeds working again! So now everything I do, more or less, aggregates here at Siprelle.com.

I have had to retire from website development and hosting. In May 2006 I suffered my second heart attack in four years, and then had a separate cardiac arrest. I'm recuperating, after the implantation of a cardiac defibrillater/pacemaker.

And so Siprelle.com will instead focus on my personal projects, which don't take a lot of energy and very nearly run themselves. For those of you looking for Drupal web development, I am passing work through to Beartooth Creative and Advomatic, both Drupal/Civicspace specialists.

Thanks for eleven years of good times. Keep in touch.

As Byron Beck at WWire says, who knew? I always liked that show, and I always forget it's on. Now I'm going to have to watch it!

Obama Visit Thread

Submitted by Lynn on Thu, 05/08/2008 - 15:31.

Obama HQ is just a couple of blocks away from OMI HQ, and so we've been watching with amusement as the ENG trucks and news vans have been circling the block looking for parking. One guy in an unmarked ENG truck was having such troubles with parking that Cablenut and I sat down with our coffees and watched him for a bit out in front of Pallino. Anyway, the oldest Nutling volunteers at Obama HQ. If you see a very pretty, very young volunteer (possibly in an orange bucket hat), stop and say hi.

This is your Obama visit open thread. Keep other topics in other open threads. kthxbye.

Submitted by Lynn on Thu, 05/08/2008 - 15:25.

In one of the other threads, someone noted that Heidi Tauber has been scrubbed from the KPOJ website, and indeed it looks like it. The morning show's been rebranded "Mornings with Carl Wolfson and Friends. Wha' happa'?

New Vision Fires All Its Chief Engineers: KOINs Wood Gone

Submitted by Lynn on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 15:57.

This popped up in the comments and I've confirmed it.

Granted, I don't know much about engineering no TV stations, but does this seem weird to you? New Vision, the owner of KOIN and a bunch of other stations, has fired all its individual station Chief Engineers. That means that veteran KOIN CE Lee Wood is out of a job as of last Friday. From the memo from GM Chris Sehring:

Weekend Open Thread, Life After Radio Edition 5/2/08-5/4/08

Submitted by Lynn on Fri, 05/02/2008 - 16:01.

Had a visitor the other day here at OMI Central:



Yes, that's Rebecca Webb. She came over for some tech support and pulled up on her adorable Vespa with a backpack of goodies for lunch (and Cablenut promptly took off around the block on the scooter). Those of you worried about this business, There Is Life After Radio (and TV, and Print).

Wassup?
